new APP for MCers?

Hi All!

A new app was featured on the Today show this morning. Apparently people in many cities have signed up to allow strangers to use their private bathrooms in an emergency. Of course there is a cost (from $1 to $100). Many of those signed up live in areas with a lot of tourism.

Do you think any in the non-MC world could understand why we might be excited about this app? LOL.

I'm guessing that after the first MC'er uses one of those bathrooms, the rates will surely be increased.

Not for the potty app, but recently I moved into a new home, that has an association that has a small pool. Not long after being here I was told the city issued a couple new rules for associations with pools. The first being that the pool could not be a certain number of feet from another body of water. The second being that all pools needed a bathroom. Well, our pool didn't meet the water distance standard. We were two feet to close to another body of water! Thankfully, after some persuasion I was told, the city realized that moving an in ground pool two feet wasn't an easy realistic option. With the bathroom requirement, it was found that my home was the only one within the association close enough meet the bathroom distance from the pool ruling. So officially a bathroom in my house is open for those that use the pool. No one has taken advantage of that, thankfully but figure at some point a city inspector very well could be stopping by to test out the facilities.

It's always something, isn't it.

I know! There is now a short trail, a potty trail, from the pool to my house.

Oh my word! I would NOT like this at all!

It's not the idea situation but it does solve a problem. I let the association know though, that if dripping wet swimmers begin showing up at the door looking to use the bathroom, new arrangements will be needed!

Yep I bet the health dept will tell you your not up to code for A public restroom they always have their snitches

Could be I suppose. Porta potty, build a small restroom next to the pool, or something inexpensive that would be acceptable. These days the old pool is little used and enjoyed. The main attraction around here is the beach, which is a 10 minute walk away. I'm kind of surprised that there is a pool.
